Living Life To The Fullest

This is Kobe with her two angels, Laura and Maureen. They are the oncologists who have been looking after Kobe and I don't have words to express how grateful I am, for not only their care of Kobe, but their wonderful positive happy attitude and their care of me (emotionally) too!
Kobe finished the cancer treatment protocol a few weeks ago and today she had her first post treatment check up and I am so happy to say that she is still in remission. I can't tell you how much I treasure each day with her....each walk in the park, each tale wagging 'good morning' greeting, each gift of a smelly sock as you walk in the door.

I read your comment Chez ;), thanks for the mojo....it's been over 3 months since I have done any scrapping and finally I have found some inspiration in my own joy at Kobe doing so well, to create a new layout about my beautiful girl.
The good thing about having a scrapping hiatus is that all your supplies seem like new again as you re discover your stash. The bad thing is that you can't justify buying any new stuff as you have SO MUCH old stuff to use up and all the stuff you were bored with before, is still there sitting in your stash!

Thanks for looking. And a BIG thank you to everyone who has sent me all the lovely well wishes for Kobe throughout her diagnosis & treatment. They have been very much appreciated. x

Yay for Kobe! So happy to hear the news of her cancer remission Vija, what a lovely Christmas gift that was for you. With that said, your joy is evident in this lo. Beautiful pretty colors and lovely details. Love it.

Oh Vija, what a touching story and I am happy to hear that she is still in Remission and doing well. Glad you are feeling better after what you have been through with your darling Kobe. You have done a wonderful job on your LO. Thanks for sharing :)

I have tears in my eyes as I type this note, Vija! I am so very hapy that you found your mojo in the joy of having Kobe with you!!!!! This layout depicts your joy and happiness beautifully! The photo is just amazing. I love the look on her face, as well as the oncologists, too! they look like caring doctors. I want to thank you so much for bringing me a big smile this morning. Your layout is beautifully designed and has wonderful details as always, my dear friend!

I'm SO happy for all of you! Kobe is a beautiful girl and she pulled through this because of ALL the love! These two amazing women that entered both your lives were truly God sent! It's a beautiful layout and tribute to everything! Love it!

Yay!!! You'e scrapping again!! and a BIG YAY!! for Kobe!! How could he possibly not respond positively to so much love being bestowed upon him? I am sooo happy for both of you Vija..LONG LIVE KOBE!! Having said that, I know exactly how you must have felt...when my Meggie was diagnosed with diabetes and fought for three years against that dibilitating sickness, I was more of a wreck than she was. I believe that they know how much we love them and that they fight as hard for us as we do for them :)xx

Such wonderful news to know that Kobe is in remission...must be a huge relief to you and the family!! She is looking adorable in her photo with her two angels!! Love those pp's and colours. I am also trying to reinvent the old stash as much as possible. Beautiful page and I love your masking!!

Oh Vija, this brings happy tears to my eyes. Cancer is so hard, especially on the family of the one that has it. Big hugs to you and Kobe. Take care and enjoy looking through all your scrappy stuff again :)

Oh Vija! This lo made me soooo happy! Kobe looks great and I just want to give her big nosy kisses!! Beautiful, beautiful lo. Love the colors, all your special touches, but the photo is the best!!! So glad you found your mojo. Thanks for sharing this with us! :o)

Just beautiful, glad to hear Kobie is still in remission and sometimes when we are going through some kind of emotional torment, scrapping is impossible to do. Glad things are loooking up...gorgeous lo!! :)

I do believe Kobe is smiling!!!! This is such uplifting and promising news Vija!!! Your posts and LOs have brought all of us along on this journey with you. Even though we cannot possibly know what you and your family went through while Kobe was undergoing treatment, you brought her into our lives to share this --- to help lighten your load of carrying this. Thank you for bringing us along on this incredible journey of hope and inspiration. Your LOs are so spectacular and full of love. Thank YOU for sharing! HUGS!!

Yeah! I'm so happy for Kobe and for you! The joy and sweetness of this lo is such a perfect reflection of all the emotions I know you must be feeling! Heres to many more weeks, months and years of a happy healthy pup :)

Oh Vija, what a heartwarming, BEAUTIFUL treasure. I can feel the joy in your heart thru this LOVELY creation. You and Kobe were so fortunate to have these two caring angels watching over the cancer treatments. I am thrilled to hear that Kobe is doing so well. Give her extra pats from me and Winnie (and don't forget some for Riley too).

Stunning in more ways than one. A wonderful tribute to Kobes angels for all they've done for Kobe ,looking after you and returning you to us able to scrap again.Such a gorgeous photo and beautiful to see Kobe looking much better, bless her.

oh what can I say, a page scrapped beautifully straight from your heart, beautiful details, and what a gorgoeus foto of kobe and her 2 angels, I know how much trauma and heartbreak you have been through with your beloved kobe, and am so glad her treatments have gone so well for her, and her and riley are more than 2 precious canines,,,,,,and your mojo certainly has returned, .....xo

What a wonderful blessing to see your precious Kobe fit and ready to roll!! She looks so healthy and happy! It is awesome to see such dedicated people to care for sick pets...huge kudos to them!! Your lo is fabulous...great pp coll; LOVE your rosette with the punched edges, superb stamping and lovely photo!

Yeah Kobe!!! What a beautiful layout, Vija!! You know I'm partial to anything w/Kobe in it & Riley too, though Kobe has an extra special place in my heart- she reminds me of Damien!. I had to blow up this pic tooo see all the details better & see Kobe's beautiful brown "hound" eyes!! I'm sooo glad you had those 2 "angels" to help you both through the hard times!! Give both those girls some extra thanksgiving treats from Wilson & me...girls, meaning Kobe & Riley-lol!!

This is a beautiful debut after your understandable hiatus. I'm so sorry for all the worry and grief you have been going through Vija. So nice to have these angels in your corner. Blessings to you and Kobe. Your creativity is a blessing to me.

lovely page and I'm so happy to hear Kobe's doing so well; I know how much your girls mean to you. Wonderful use of your stash and a special tribute to your girl and the ladies who've helped on her journey to wellness!

I am so happy for you and Kobe - My two girls are sitting here right beside me as I write this and I am so glad I have them to keep me company all day - so I know how much Kobe means to you - this page is just lovely and such a sweet tribute to her and her helpers! So glad to see you back - it is hard to find your mojo after being off for a while - it has taken me nearly five months to find mine again since my mama passed away... I've been scrapping, but just this last week or so I'm finally starting to feel creative and comfortable with it again:) Hugs to you and Kobe...

This gave me goosebumps Vija! So happy Kobe is done with treatment and she is in remission. I understand the sentiment of everyday being a treasure to have her. Sending prayers, hugs & positive thoughts. Beautiful layout!
